Is there any way that the daughter in Figure 2 could have been homozygous for the STR shown? Explain your answer.
No, both parents need to have at least one matching STR for daughter to be homozygous.
Yes, parents are both homozygous and heterozygous which is necessary for daughter to be homozygous
Need more information about parent DNA to make a decision.
Using the diagram on the right, identify all of the possible STR allele combinations that the son could have inherited at this particular locus.

Examine the electropherogram in Figure 4. Describe how you determine whether an individual is heterozygous or homozygous for a particular STR.
Two identical numbers are present for the STR which indicates they are heterozygous
Two different numbers are present for the STR which indicates they are heterozygous.
One number is present for the STR which indicates they are homozygous
Two different numbers are present for the STR which indicates they are homozygous.
List the STR locus or loci at which this individual is homozygous.
